Francesca's North 1145 Church St, Northbrook Italian • $$
1145 Church St, Northbrook

“On March 3rd, I hosted my Mother’s Birthday Dinner in a private room.. needless to say it was the best dining experience many of us have ever had. Not only was the food beyond, but the service was something unheard of. We were fortunate to have Greg & Benjamin as our servers and they were the absolute best. Especially now a days, I know how difficult it can be for many working in the food industry, but they were the most accommodating, kind, and helpful individuals. I’ve dined in some of the nicest places you can imagine, but still nothing compares. The food again was beyond - everything was to perfection and not a single complaint from any of our guests. Truly could not have asked for a better experience and will most definitely be giving recommendations to everyone I know. Thank you so very much to Lisa for assisting in the coordination of our event and Benjamin + Greg for the flawless execution. Many Thanks!”

Kamehachi 1320 Shermer Rd, Northbrook Japanese • $$
1320 Shermer Rd, Northbrook

“This was the best sushi I've had in a while.I ordered the summer roll and spicy salmon deluxe. Both were incredible and the quality of the fish was amazing. The only very very minor issue was that the rolls came with 5 or 6 pieces instead of 6 or 8, but had the same amount of rice and filling so each piece was really big and a little hard to eat in one bite - this would not discourage me from getting them again. The two rolls were very filling.I also ordered miso soup, which was very good as well and not too salty.We were the only customers at one point (2pm on a Saturday), so our food came out really quickly. Service was great and our waters were consistently refilled.”

254 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook

“It's a small restaurant with big food! You will want to go early because they don't reservations. Wine list could use an update. They were out of a particular Italian red wine on the list, and the white wines need an overhaul. Otherwise, everything was excellent.”

Maestro Seafood & Grill 500 Anthony Trail, Northbrook Seafood • $$
500 Anthony Trail, Northbrook

“We were celebrating a birthday of a relative, and the food and service were great. However, there are two rooms where we were in one of them, and the sound of music and laughing and stuff carries from one room to another, interfering with speakers and conversations. Also, to get to a bathroom we had to walk through a room where other people had their own party, essentially violating their privacy. Still a good choice with reasonable prices.”

“Another "Once Upon" spots and first time at this one! Pictured here are their bagels for the day, and their Corned Beef Sandwich (on Rye Bread with mustard, and a pickle slice). Generous amount of Corned Beef as well as mustard. Not pictured here, but also grabbed a couple of whole tomatillos. Both pickles and tomatillos are seasoned perfectly. Steady flow of customers (regulars and first-timers) coming in and out. Friendly service here like other locations. A "Once Upon a Grill" is also in the same plaza.”

EATACO 1350 Shermer Rd, Northbrook Tacos • $$
1350 Shermer Rd, Northbrook

“The tacos are amazing! If you're looking for a bit of traditional with a modern flare, this is the place to go. Personally, I love the Lamb, calamari, and mushroom tacos. Yes, I said mushroom taco. I'm not a vegetarian, but I also love the brussel sprout taco and the fried avocado. The guacamole is also one of the stars here. This place is a gem in downtown Northbrook. If you're looking for traditional head to the corner of Willow and Schermer.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian taco options that actually shine on the menu, not just an accommodationDietary restrictions: They easily modified my taco to remove mango because of an allergyParking: There's a free lot behind the building and some free parking right in front”

Barnaby's of Northbrook 960 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook Pizza • $$
960 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook

“After reading about their pizza, we wanted to give it a go. We found a Barnaby's on our vacation route and it was an experience.Parking was easy. The parking lot was large. Spaces are actually big enough and the parking lot is easy to navigate. We walked in and had no clue what we were doing but we quickly figured it out.There's a drink counter to the left. Order your drinks and have a seat. You can get pitchers of water and soda as well. They also have bottled root beer! To the left of the drink counter and down the hallway are the restrooms.The next counter over is the "sandwich counter" which is where all the items besides pizzas are called to be picked up.Next to that is where you order and pay. And to the right of there is the pizza pick up.If you need plates, forks, etc. you can run up and grab them. And they have someone bussing tables so when you're done you leave everything.The pizza was different than we're used to. The sauce flavor was good. I knew this was thin crust pizza and I love thin crust so I wanted to try it. This was unlike any thin crust I've ever had. Much harder. Little to no flavor in the crust. It's difficult to explain. It was a fun experience and we would definitely try other things if we were in the area again.”

“Mind blowing exceptional experience. From the front desk experience with the manager (asst manager?) to paying the bill, our visit was fantastic. Employees were very friendly. Food was top notch taste. Menu was abundant. Service was impeccable. Prices are extremely fair. Ambiance is very welcoming. Our spur of the moment visit on a Saturday night could have not gone better. Do yourself a favor and make the trek here, you will not regret it. A 15 minute ride north of Chicago and worth every minute and any fuel costs incurred. A civilized society where you are treated well awaits you at Pinstripes.? Oh, and a few of the best Old Fashioned adult beverages I've ever had.Thank you Pinstripes, we will be back. And back. And back...”

The service was fast, food was AMAZING, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty awesome. Someone previously said she was intimidated by the lizard paintings but I loved them, lol. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! Thanks so much for making my birthday the best.”

“I should have written this review some time ago. I've been eating here for over twenty years. Georgie V's is excellent food and excellent service all around. ?‍? More than that though, it's so obvious that ownership, Angelo and his family, care deeply about making their restaurant the best breakfast-lunch place it can be. As a customer, I've seen the restaurant change and develop over time and it's very cool to see a place that is truly focused on achieving excellence for it's customers. If you're looking for a breakfast-lunch place that is consistently great food and has a great atmosphere, then Georgie V's is your spot! I highly, highly recommend.”

“Marcellos is a great restaurant for so many reasons. First off, the food is great. I've not had anything that wasn't good.Second, they have a great space for parties and events. They have 2 smaller rooms that really aren't small at all. But they can take down the wall to make it into a much larger room. They can host events much larger than you'd imagine.Great service, generous drinks, and the owner is a kind, generous, and charitable man who gives back to the community.Go here.”
